Days 302 - 305: Shopping, Birthday Begins and 4th Celebratin'

hehe made me laugh!

So let me play catch up - woo! Wednesday ended up being a super fun day! I went straight home from work and was there by 5:30 – nice! I cleaned a little, cooked dinner, and then my sister and mom came over for a sleepover! Austin had a poker game, so we watched SYTYCD and passed out. haha I think we thought we would stay up later and visit but we were so tired! SYTYCD was really good this week – LOVED Jeanette/Brandon’s dance and the vampire dance was cool too. I loved Randy/Evan’s dance and thought the judges were harsh to them. Boo. Anyway, I ended the day at 1,853 calories, 52 fat grams, 279 carbs and 92 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Like mother like daughter - they always have the cutest bags!!

Thursday I got up and got to work! Dev and mom headed out at 8 a.m. for the car dealership and shopping, but they came back at noon and Austin came home and we all had pizza! (I made the simple pepperoni pizzas). They liked them – yay! Afterwards I worked for an hour then at 2 p.m. I was off work – woo!! Us girls headed up to the outlets where I had some major success! I got the following:

Nike outlet: 6 headbands, 2 sleeveless tanks, 1 pair of shorts, 1 hoodie and 1 jacket.
Gap outlet: 3 pairs shorts and 6 pairs boxers for Austin.
Banana Republic: 1 dress, 1 swimsuit, 1 dress shirt, 1 tanktop, 1 skirt

Here's a few pics of some of my new items - woo!!

Love this new running outfit - the shirt was only $6!

Can't wait to wear this hoodie! So cozy!

Jacket was on clearance for $18!! Woo!

Going to wear this new bana work shirt with these anthro pants Monday - love it! Also sporting a new headband. hehe

Love this banana swimmie! Only $30!


A new outfit comprised of Gap shorts and a banana shirt - and only $22!

Woo! I also got my first birthday present – mom gave me a stool for the living room! I’ve been talking about how I want a little footstool I can bring around when I sit in those little leather club chairs. We had chatted about how I’d like it to be round, smallish, etc. She found the cutest one – love it!! Thanks, Mom!!


Love it!


When we got back I got ready and me and Austin headed over to Mon/Andy’s drinks and a sleepover! (all off work Friday!) We hung out at her place for a little bit and got Reuben cozy, then we were off to Twisted Taco and Flipflops. Good times, great convos, lots and lots of fun!! Stayed up too late and drank too much as is me, but it was worth it – yay! Ended up at 2,355 calories, 286 carbs, 41 fat grams and 89 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Friday we got up thinking we would stay over – I was going to go shop with Mon and Austin was going to hit the pool with Andy. We even ran to Chick-fil-a to get breakfast and came back and watched part of Billy Madison (hehe) and Reality Bites (OMG I’m such a fan). But when it got around to noon we decided to head home and get some stuff done at the house. We stopped at Dick’s on the way to look at HRMs and they were NO HELP at all. Blah. Then I just cleaned and stuff and updated my blog! I had fun learning how to make it 3-colum and adding the new background and buttons, etc. I didn’t want to cook though so we ordered a pizza. Oy. Chick-fil-a and pizza? Eek! It was yum though. Had 2 slices for lunch and 1 for dinner and called it a day!! Just got in bed to watch Gilmore Girls with Reuben – who just passed out of course.
I’m SO obsessed with this show – I’m watching the last 2 seasons (for the 100th time) and STILL can’t get over her saying no to Logan at the end… grrrr. In looking for an image I found other people who were pissed too – fun to read it and relive a little piece of 2007. haha K – here’s how it played out: 1,590 calories, 185 carbs, 56 fat grams and 38 grams of protein. Wow – that’s like no protein at all. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday I got up, finished Indelible (amazing!!!), made our weekly meal plan, went to Trader Joe’s/Kroger, bought 3 new books at Barnes & Noble (all Karin Slaughter!), went to the gym for 6.5 miles and started a new book, Karin Slaughter’s Blindsighted. Love it! I got up, got ready and me and Austin were off to a 4th of July party in Buckhead. We preceded to drink WAY too much, play lots of flipcup, then do a clothing change to get in a cab to hit up bars. We had SO much fun but I realized too late that I didn’t eat enough – only had like 1,300 calories and with the walk I burned so many. Point being, I felt like CRAP when I got up Sunday and was STARVING!! To close out Saturday, I had 2,022 calories, 200 carbs, 28 fat grams and 82 grams of protein. Here’s what I ate… and drank – eek!

Me and Mon celebratin' - shoulda worn makeup... oh well! Good times!


Gotta love flip cup. I mean really.


They like flip cup!! (I LOVE Austin's bayside tigers tee)


I’ll post Sunday’s tomorrow along with two new recipes I made! And i'll tell you more about Indelible which you MUST read! I hope you all had wonderful weekends!!
